Hello Mike,
Please could I ask a couple questions?
1.
When calculating the increase of Robby’s initial 5% stake in Zinc I calculate:
5 (new value) – 2 (purchase price) = 3 (gain)
but ACCA’s answer has:
5 – 2 – 1 = 2
Please could you tell me what the “-1” is for?2.
Should goodwill be calculated for the date of the LAST share acquisition? (I noticed that a provisional net asset valuation on date of acquisition was updated with a final net asset valuation at the end of the financial year – this was then used to calculate goodwill) But generally is it correct to say that net asset valuation changes that occur after the date of acquisition do not affect the goodwill?
Thank you,
Dan
Hi Dan
I’m not going to be able to help with question 1, sorry. I don’t have a clear recollection of the question so can’t recall the “1”
Your second question – the goodwill calculation is done on the occasion that the company becomes a subsidiary. Any subsequent increase in our interest is merely an adjustment to parent’s equity between the parent and the nci
OK?
